Follow-up Comment #1:

I reproduce also with xgettext 0.22.

For xgettext it looks like the string could a python-format string or a
python-brace-format string. xgettext does not do a program analysis, to
determine how the string is used. Therefore it marks the string with both
markers.

To remedy in this special case, add a comment directed to xgettext:

#!/usr/bin/env python3
import gettext
_ = gettext.gettext

val = '15'
# xgettext: no-python-format
print(_('Trying to keep min {perc}% free inodes').format(perc=val))


Then xgettext will no longer emit the python-format marker here.
